Joe Mauer hitting cleanup for Minnesota

Minnesota Twins first baseman Joe Mauer is batting from the cleanup spot on Thursday against the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

With Brian Dozier getting the night off on Wednesday, Mauer moved up to lead off for the Twins. Now that Dozier's back, though, he's hitting third against right-hander A.J. Griffin.

In 255 plate appearances, Mauer has hit 5 home runs with a .352 wOBA against righties in 2017. At a price of $3,300, our models project him for 9.4 FanDuel points this evening.
